Appetiser
Starting the Chinese Zodiac New Year Celebration 2017 buffet with the Wolfberry Drunken Herbal Chicken (Zodiac: Dog) (狗)杞醉鸡.
Deep Fried Yam with Crabmeat and Pearl Mushroom (Zodiac: Pig) 珍 (猪)菇伴酥脆蟹肉芋头 is a highly addictive dish and great for beer.
Mains
In the Chinese Zodiac New Year Celebration 2017, there is a good mix of seafood, meat, vegetables and carbohydrates. We love the mix.
Seafood
One of our fave dish was the Braised Dried Treasures Pot with Sea Cucumber and Snake Gourd (Zodiac: Snake) (蛇)瓜聚宝. All ingredients and flavour were at the perfect ration making it extremely flavourful and tasty.
The rabbit fish is a fish usually a must have on the table of Teochew family. At Street 50, they presented the dish with a dish, Teochew-style Steamed Rabbit Fish Fillet with Ham and Mushroom (Zodiac: Rabbit) 扬眉吐气白(兔)年鱼.
Instead of Chilli Crab, here we have the Chilli Tiger Prawns (Zodiac: Tiger) 虎虎生威老(虎)虾 using the similar sauce. Street 50 version is less sweet and more savoury.
Meat
Another chicken dish, Rock Salt Baked Chicken Thigh (Zodiac: Rooster) 盐焗(鸡). It may not look appealing, it is certainly nothing less than a thumb up. It has a light herb flavour which I enjoy even though I don’t usually prefer herb flavour food.
Lamb dishes are always contestable. More so for the Mongolian-Style Grilled Lamb Chop (Zodiac: Goat) 洋洋得意蒙古(羊)扒 due to the cumin since this spice isn’t commonly used in local dishes hence it is very much like an acquired taste. But personally, I like the scent. However, I find the meat a little tough.
Vegetables
The Monkey Mushroom with Chinese Spinach (Zodiac: Monkey) (猴)头三菇菠菜香 may look very much like a boring vegetarian dish, nevertheless it is extremely tasty due to the monkey mushroom.
Stir fried Beef with Ginger and Kai Lan (Zodiac: Ox) 姜葱(牛)肉芥蓝仔 is another vegetable dish available at the buffet.
Others
Should you need carbohydrates to fill the stomach, Mee Ta Mak Laksa (Zodiac: Rat) 老(鼠)粉叻沙.
Or Braised Longevity Noodles with Lobster Meat (Zodiac: Dragon) (龙)虾寿面.
Dessert
Finally the dish representing the horse is here with the Yam Paste with Water Chestnuts and Gingko Nuts (Zodiac: Horse) (马蹄)白果好芋头. It may look watery, nevertheless, not diluted at all in flavour.
